Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and advanced overview of Well Testing and Interpretation. It covers the importance of well testing in reservoir management; the different fluid types and flow patterns in reservoirs; the basics of well test analysis including pressure transient analysis and its application; the wellbore dynamics and temperature effects and how wellbore conditions affect test data; the safety considerations in well testing including safety protocols and environmental considerations; the buildup and drawdown tests and pressure derivative analysis using systematic techniques and applications; the type curves analysis in well test interpretation; the rate transient analysis and techniques for analyzing variable rate tests; and the key considerations for effective well test design. Further, the course will also discuss the interference testing through design and interpretation; the pulse testing using effective methodology and applications; the multi-rate testing through techniques for analyzing tests with variable rates; the wellbore storage and skin effect and gas well testing using specific considerations and methodologies; the challenges of naturally fractured reservoirs; and the horizontal well testing through specific methodologies and interpretations.
